Bookkeeping

I recently finished Atul Gawande’s Complications (Indiebound | Powell’s), which is one of the four books I ought to finish reading before I head to a fellowship conference in two weeks.

I also bought (and started) the latest Discworld novel from Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals (Indiebound | Powell’s), which is about the Unseen University beginning its own football team. In a way, it’s a sort of birthday present, since I used the gift certificate that K. gave me several weeks ago to purchase it.

A list of ebooks on my work computer, none of which I have even opened yet:

Stranger Things Happen, by Kelly Link

Magic for Beginners, by Kelly Link

The Ant King and Other Stories, by Benjamin Rosenbaum

Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe

I’m embarrassed to admit that I still haven’t read the last book on the list. I dug up the ebook after reading that Achebe has written new book after twenty years (Reuters).

I also have a copy of Helen DeWitt’s Your Name Here (available for purchase here). I began the book several months ago, but I lost my place in the file and haven’t been able to retrieve it. I suspect I really ought to move it to my home computer, where I can use Stanza.
